MECCA OF PATRIOTISM 



THE GUILFORD BATTLE GROUND COMPANY was organ- 
ized May 6th, 1887, at Greensboro, N. C. 

Its object is to redeem from waste the battle field of Guilford Court 
House, and adorn it as a park and erect monuments thereon. It owns 
one hundred acres of this battle field, which is laid off in walks, drives, 
and avenues. There are nineteen monuments already completed, and 
two in course of construction. Five delightful Springs are fitted up. 
Lake Wilfong, on the grounds^ is a lovely sheet of water. Ten thou- 
sand people attend the celebration every year. The addresses all rise 
to the dignity of histoi y. The museum of Relics is a most valuable 
and interesting feature. 

The battle was fought between Gen. Nathaniel Greene and Lord 
CornwalHs, March 15th, 1781. The British were driven from the state.
